Actually, it changes things quite a bit.
The pharmacist ends up doing some basic math for each script instead of counting pills. Italy does this pre-counted system and getting a script filled takes seconds instead of dozens of minutes.
Any other medication coming in blister packs wouldn't change a darned thing, unless you expect pharmacies to carry large quantities of sealed 5,10,15,20 etc etc dose packs. If they didn't, they'd still be breaking the sealed packs up and counting to match the perscribed amount.
